A man has installed viruses that were sent to him directly from a hacker and the result is seriously disturbing.

We’re all accustomed to dodging online scams - whether that’s a link to track a parcel we never ordered or an email asking us to update our social media passwords.

Things have become a bit more advanced since the early days of internet con artists posing as princes with millions of dollars to send over and scams are increasingly harder to detect.

So what happens if we fall for it and accidentally install a virus? Well, one man decided to find out.

John Tranium documented his experience of installing viruses that had been directly sent to him from a hacker.

Enlisting the help of a cybersecurity student who was tasked with hacking the content creator, Tranium uploaded the footage to YouTube.

In the video description, he wrote: “Today, we are unboxing/reviewing/testing viruses malware on my computer that a dark web bad man hacker sent me. Will my PC survive?”

In the clip, one virus appears as a pop up on the computer, which Tranium opts to download.

Suddenly, his desktop is home to virtual butterflies which is fun at first until they continue to multiply, making it harder to access the screen.

Another virus, named ‘attack’ opens a never ending stream of blank tabs, leaving the YouTuber unable to use his computer.

Similarly, a ‘beans’ themed one does the same thing except all of the tabs have images of baked beans on them.

A more sinister virus is downloaded to reveal an unknown person typing out a warning, ‘don’t click anything!’, before a video pops up that seems to show a slow moving rocking chair.

A zombie appears out of nowhere and the computer shuts itself down.

Another scary one turns all of the icon images on Tranium’s desktop into skulls and the image of a zombie girl is stuck on the screen.

Viewers of the video took to the YouTube comment section to share their reactions, with one user writing: “This man puts his pc at risk just for some people to laugh. I have mad respect for him.”

Another joked: “Can’t wait for ‘letting a hacker remotely control my car and see where they drive me’.”

A third said: “Bro really said cybersecurity student by day vigilante hacker by night.”

And a fourth person added: “This hacker seems to be like the most wholesome one lol.”
